separate I'd like to try to simplify this for a non-engineer type such as I. 1. If there is feedline loss then less signal gets from the TX output to the antenna (and thus to the listener -- you). 2
If I begin to understand all of the posts, some of the energy goes to the antenna, some of the energy is reflected back to the open ending you have just created where the generator was, and some is
Wait a minute, now you are really confusing me. Are you saying that a mismatched feed system creates gain? Again, are you saying that the output from the transmitter is amplified within the feed sys
A friend who engages in sophisticated physics discussions says they insist upon clear goals and a check-off when some elements are agreed upon so as to actually reach closure. Here is my effort towa

So, are we agreeing to conclude that reflected power that is resolved by the final tuned circuit of an amp, rig, or antenna tuner is meaningless and to be ignored as irrelevant at HF frequencies? I
What about the timing issue some have explained at HF -- the signal is moving so fast that it obliterates the impact of phase concerns -- at least for the sort of narrow bandwidth signals we Hams use
